Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 484 Whole House Smart Home

To say that it is not difficult for Honor to build an Internet mobile phone brand is definitely false. Different thinking logic will bring different development models.The situation of Glory is a bit special. Whether we should cooperate with Jumei or do it ourselves remains to be seen.

Honor reported other things one by one. The drone balance car actually made a profit, and the drone sales revenue exceeded 9 million US dollars in [-] months.Unfortunately, balancing scooters are very well-known, but they have been criticized for safety issues, and their sales have been greatly affected.Therefore, it is now only sold in Honor physical stores and has increased consumer education.If electric skateboards are included, this revenue also exceeds US$[-] million.

Around 2011, the digital camera market was very prosperous, with [-] million units sold a year. With the financial and technical support of Honor, the competitiveness of Pentax cameras was greatly improved, and its popularity in the country was greatly increased, which can be regarded as a profit.

"Digital cameras will definitely be eliminated by mobile phones. Do we still need to consider this?" Qu Li didn't want to discuss this topic. After making money, he quickly invested in high-end SLRs to make action cameras for drones.

Next is headphones and speakers. Beats headphones are not our own after all. The disadvantages of wired headphones are too great. There are no "true wireless" Bluetooth headphones. We will not make our own brand for the time being, but we can have voice speakers.But their Klun is artificially mentally retarded, what should I do?

"Voice speakers still lack enough music resources..." This is the reality

“Should we produce music products ourselves, or should we cooperate with copyright owners?”

Apple has iTunes Store, Amazon and Google have their own streaming music software. Not to mention the complexity of music copyright, Honor has no advantage.

"EMI Music is going bankrupt. It seems that it will be split into a copyright company and a record company. If we want to do streaming music, it may be a good opportunity."

Whether it is acquiring music copyrights or signing a copyright cooperation agreement, this is a good opportunity.

"We can also invest in Spotify, the streaming music company..."

Everyone has different opinions. In addition to music, news, and audio books worth looking forward to, the services provided by the speakers can only be regarded as low-frequency functions such as online shopping and asking about the weather. The remaining interactions are simply a disaster.

"It's too early to say this now. Klun is not perfect enough, the speech recognition ability is poor, wireless routers are not popular enough, and all conditions are not mature enough..."

"If we can't make network speakers, we can make car speakers..."

"What is our purpose of making voice control speakers? A product or a network control core." Someone asked Qu Li

"I want to make whole-house smart home products, but I feel that this industry is very complex and we may not have the appeal..." Qu Li said hesitantly. Whole-house smart products have been popular for many years, but progress has been slow, and most young people People are trying. The future market may be huge, but I don’t know how long the market cultivation period will be. Voice speakers do not seem to play a central role in control. Will home appliances be controlled through WIFI or 5G in the future?

Smart home, when you hear the name, you will know that the market is huge, and there are many products that can be made, such as sweeping robots, lighting, heating and cooling fresh air, door locks and security...

So everyone was divided. Some people wanted to do it, and some thought it was unreliable. It was so easy to make a smartphone, the direction and goals were clear, and the market potential was still huge.

Wall Street investors have different views on Honor's potential. Honor's market value has once again fallen from US$1500 billion, falling for several days in a row. Not only did it lose all the gains, it also fell a lot. But Apple's stock price did not rise either. Everyone was worried. fell.Do you think that as market competition intensifies, our profit margins will decline?

Honor's most successful products are smartphones, and then it entered the tablet and laptop markets. Drones and hoverboards are niche products, and I haven't heard of Apple getting involved.As for electric/smart cars, they are still being explored and no conclusion has been reached.Whole-house smart homes have great market potential and great room for investors’ imagination.

"No matter how you ensure security, you must be connected to the Internet. Hacker attacks are no joke."

If whole-house intelligence is really popularized, hackers can even "kill people" remotely through the Internet, just like 365 Security Guards can break through the security defense lines of Tesla cars. As long as the Internet is connected, there is no absolute security, but how big is the risk? The public What does public opinion think?

Just like Qu Li is optimistic about autonomous driving, the legal and moral risks are not as big as imagined. If assisted/autonomous driving is really popularized, the number of road traffic accident deaths can be reduced from 6 to 6000, and insurance costs from several thousand The yuan has dropped to several hundred yuan, and both countries and consumers know how to choose.

"We can arrange a smart host in the consumer's home to achieve signal coverage in every corner through whole-house networking..." Qu Li came up with another idea

"What smart host?"

"PC computers, but they can be self-developed chips and operating systems..."

After Qu Li finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at him. This idea was absolutely incredible.

No one spoke for a while, and Qu Li was a little confused. What's wrong?

"Everyone should keep this paragraph confidential. Even if you are sensible, you are not allowed to say it out..." Honor CFO Chen Jingqiu stood up and said this

"Well, I will arrange the compliance department..." Lei Jun reacted

"Is this necessary?" Qu Li didn't know why.

“Your idea of ​​whole-house intelligence may create an ecological closed loop larger than Apple’s iPhone…”

"..." This time it was Qu Li's turn to be shocked. Is it possible?Does Juhua Factory’s later whole-house smart home solution really have such great potential?

“But it’s very difficult to implement and it may not necessarily go smoothly.”

"If it's really a simple thing, someone has already done it."

"I think it might be a better choice to make it an open source framework or lead a standardization organization."

"If we really want to open source, what is our profit model, selling products or selling technology?"

"There are so many home appliance companies around the world. If our user base is not large enough, how can they adapt? But without the cooperation of these home appliance companies, how can we build a complete home appliance ecosystem?"

Qu Li once again broadened the imagination of whole-house intelligence, but it also widened the internal differences. Everyone has a point.

Things that seem beautiful may not necessarily have a good future. Qu Li doesn’t know the future of whole-house smart homes, so even if he wants to do it, he has to do it step by step, such as building a whole-house network first. , achieving full coverage of the router’s WIFI signal.

There is also the voice assistant Klun: "Our goal is not to surpass Siri, but to make it smarter..." Maybe Klun connected to chatgpt can be regarded as a truly smart voice assistant.

The Honor meeting continued, and everyone discussed a lot, such as fingerprint recognition and face recognition, but they were not as important as whole-house smart home.
